How Could You Not Tell Me?

Instagram Post

Taylor gently laid Avia in her bed. It was midnight and they had just finished cleaning up the whole house after the party. Avia had passed out on the couch around hours ago, but didn't want to go to her room because all of the guests were downstairs.

"Mommy?" Avia whispers as she tries to open her eyes reaching her arms out towards Taylor.

"Shhh, go to sleep baby." Taylor says softly and pats Avia's leg until she's sure she's asleep again.

Taylor stared at all of Avia's new gifts on the living room floor and begun to pick everything up one by one, taking them out of their packaging and into Avia's toy bins.

There was one bag that caught her eye and it was the gifts that Harry had given. Her head starts to boil remembering how he showed up uninvited and takes his gifts and hides them away.

Taylor then hears loud noises coming from upstairs and she rushes up the staircase.

"Avia!" She says running into her room to find everything that was on her nightstand, on the floor.

"I was trying to get your attention Mommy." Avia says in a sleepy voice and Taylor sighs.

Although Avia still had acouple bad breaks, if she moved the wrong way or didn't have the energy, she knew it was best to not move at all.

"What's wrong? It's so late babe." Taylor tells her sitting by her bed.

"Pee" Avia whispers and Taylor helps her daughter into her bathroom.

6 AM

Taylor got awoken by her phone constantly ringing on her bedside table.

"Tree?" she whispers while her eyes are still closed.

"Taylor, what happened at Avia's party?" Tree asks frantically which makes Taylor sit up so fast.

"Why? Oh god what happened?" Taylor asks whiling her heart is beating faster than she could imagine.

"Don't freak out, but Harry just posted a photo of Avia on his Instagram." Tree says getting quieter at the end.

Taylor stares into the distance. They had one promise with each other. One. Never post Avia on any social media accounts.

"Why would he do that?!" Taylor yells as tears overflow in her eyes.

Taylor shakes her head and ends the phone call, going onto her Instagram and finding Harry's page.

There it was, a photo of the back of Avia's head as shes playing in the park. It was a photo taken last year that Taylor sent to him, but never got a response back.

Taylor's blood boiled, he broke her one promise and she could never trust him again. She didn't want the world to know about Avia, just yet and now she felt like her world was crashing down as she read the comments under the post his captioned, "Mini Me".

"Mini me, my fucking ass" Taylor whispered and scrolled through the comments.

Everyone was wondering who the child was of course, but mainly asking who her mother was. Half of the comments got it spot on and guessed Taylor.

Taylor turned off her phone and practically slammed it down onto the table as she collapsed back into her bed shutting her eyes.

She was now going to make sure that no one saw Avia, no one she didn't trust at least.

How could he do this, she wondered over and over.

"Mommy!" She heard Avia yell and she sighed getting out of her bed to go tend to her daughter.

Taylor walks into Avia's room to find her playing with the makeup set Harry had gotten her. One thing she forgot to hide.

"Do I look pretty Mommy?" Avia asks and Taylor chuckles.

"You always look pretty darling." Taylor says as she kisses her cheek.

"Tell your friend I love it very much Mommy." Avia smiles as Taylor's smile disappears.
